Case C-452/01, Margarethe Ospelt v. Schlössle Weissenberg Familienstiftung

Publishers Abstract:
The decision presented in this article, which deals with property acquisitions and not the financial services and taxation transactions often associated with these rules, adds to the Court's now burgeoning case law on the free movement of capital. This recent case law, exploring the last of the free movement principles to be unpacked by the Court, also underlines the Court's unitary approach to free movement.
